Preservation of Forgetting is a body of work in which Mullis treats forgetting as a deliberate, physical process. Working with discarded and secondhand objects, she wraps and coats them in papier-mâché repeatedly by hand, accumulating visible marks of touch over time. Through this slow, repetitive process, the objects are prevented from disappearing even as they are removed from use. Mullis’ labor becomes a record of loss, care, and unusual intimacy, transforming what has been cast aside into preserved forms that hold memory, pressure, and time. These works sit between keeping and letting go, asking what it means to preserve something that socio-capitalist systems have already decided should be forgotten.
